A blessing . . . .

We had very brief rain storm early yesterday morning. And, even though the moisture made for a steamy afternoon -- the morning was cool -- the air smelled fresh & clean.  I can't tell you what a welcome relief it was after almost 2 weeks of 100 degree temps.  

Later, as I drove into work, I realized that rain this time of year is really a blessing -- which was reinforced by this sight.
